Irma Dean, Louise, Lucille and Grandchildren,
I was so sorry to hear of the death of your mother, grandmother and sister. She was a wonderful lady and always spoke when I would run into her. The people we grew up with on Kerr's Creek are mostly all gone now. Take comfort in the fact that your loved one is at peace and dwelling in the light of our Lord. I know how hard it is to let them go, especially our mothers. It's just been 18 months since the death of my mother. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
